Bush Elementary Receives National Recognition!

During 2006, Barbara Bush Elementary recycled an amazing 35.7 tons of
paper by achieving 100 percent classroom participation in its recycling
program. The school's success has been the result of teamwork among The
Bush Environmental Stewardship Team (BEST) comprised of grade level
representatives, students, parents, administrators and volunteers, the
Green and Clean Campus Program (GCCP), and Abitibi Consolidated, a major recycling company. The American Forest & Paper Association awarded Barbara Bush Elementary the 2007 AF&PA School Recycling Award in the school-wide category. Our campus received a hand-made piece of artwork and a $1,000 check which will be used to further our environmental programs.

Bush Elementary was featured on Channel 5 for school wide recycling efforts. Click on the link below entitled "Students give lessons on the environment" to see Barbara Bush students.
